In true American fashion dating all the way back to its founding, you only matter if you own property.
Seems that way. Empowering local governments to determine legality will inevitably allow NIMBY to criminalize homelessness across the nation, with each city pointing fingers as the next.
While technically true... There is a difference between a guy owning a factory and a guy owning a home.
They are not the same lol
This is pedantic and totally irrelevant to the topic of homeless having no place to simply exist.
Unless of course you are trying to highlight the billions of unhoused factory owners?
Are you counting the fact that Elon lives in a trailer down by the
riverlaunchpad?Yes. Homeless people are an underclass.
Many people are few pay checks away from being homeless
System works as intended
